Hi,
My goal is to merge a pretty huge number of pdfs with the purpose of searching them by contents (text).
I am wondering to find a script (JS) solution for that.
The source app is InDesign, however basically each page is a separate doc exported to PDF. I am looking for the way of creating a "merged issue" PDF (let say 48 pages) from my sources but preferably - using pdfs rather than indd files as a source (since possible lack of missed links & fonts troubles).
But... searching Acrobat Forum lead me to conclusion that:
- using javascript there is no way to merge files and
- using SDK there is a kind of complex proccess.
(hopefully am I wrong...?)
I started to consider merging files using InDesign scripting ways but here is a question:
If my workflow would be to build temp ID file filled with desired number of PDF (each pdf placed on a separate page) and export this file as a merged PDF - what about output pdf structure comparing it to PDF exported from open .indd files.
I mean, is PDF - created by exporting from PDFs - keeping its structure open for search features, i.e. creating indexes? Do I loose something important creating merged PDF this way?
Thanks for sharing any experience of this cases...
